Starting to play more Christmas songs as we enter the holiday season.

Title: Away in a Manger
Composer: James R. Murray
Arranger: Dave Brubeck

Many of us struggle with tough situations, but can you imagine having your baby lying in a manger? And that wasn't even in a barn! The stars were looking down on him. Some of our struggles are because we didn't follow Jesus, but Jesus is with us always, and he had many struggles, including this!

Proverbs 3:5 and 6 are still two of my favorite verses - no matter what.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding;

In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths."

Jesus struggled many times! But pleading with God to help us honor Him, the most we can, is so worth it!

Lyrics:
Away in a manger,
No crib for His bed
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head

The stars in the bright sky
Looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing
The poor Baby wakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes

I love Thee, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my side,
'Til morning is nigh.

Be near me, Lord Jesus,
I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever
And love me I pray

Bless all the dear children
In Thy tender care
And take us to heaven
To live with Thee there
